Lost

[Rick Daris]

What happened with Ben and Locke?  I know Locke had to die and all but why did Ben save him then kill him?  Was it because he said something about the Hawking lady?

 

ANY THEORIES ON THIS?

yeah, dunno. i thought that ben prolly killed locke once he got all the info (hawking lady) he needed. maybe it's just that ben is supposed to be the one to kill him or that locke wasn't really going to follow through with killing himself and ben has jumped back and forth so many times that he knew this and had to kill locke himself. kinda like in groundhog day where bill murray keeps going back and going on dates with the girl until he learns enough about her to finally hook up w/ her.

either way it is kinda weird that both ben and whitmore both want ben back on the island but seem to be on different sides.

dunno, but it looked like a lightbulb went off in ben's head when locke said that did it not?

also, the plane is on the hydra Island!  not the main Island!

Best episode of the season.

really? i dvr'd and have watched it all and didn't think it was all that great. i guess it was good at filling in some gaps and adding to the back story. maybe i'll watch it again. it was hard flip back and forth from bball.

yeah wasn't that great, plus I dunno about them adding more characters to the show.

I thought it was interesting how Locke's personality completely changed when he left the island.  He was passive, quiet and nice just like back in his former life.  Couldn't convince anyone to do anything.  Just thought it was interesting.  Anyone else find this interesting?

Yeah but I came to expect that since he was such a vag w/ his relationship w/ his dad. On the Island he is a different person and that is why he loves it so much.

My question is does anyone think this is the last we have seen of Walt or will he get back on the Island.

That, and all of that stuff about not being able to die and not being a cripple anymore.

Ben or Widmore, who's evil?

[ew2x4]

Ben or Widmore, who's evil?

It's hard to not say both, but this has definitely become the predominant question. Who should we trust with our Losties and why?

ANY THEORIES ON THIS?

I was under the impression that Ben didn't know that Richard told Locke that he had to die.  Ben wants to be the "leader" but he can't do that if John returns to the island (alive).  Once John mentioned Hawking, Ben knew that John could get back to the island without him.  Ben needed John to get the others to come back, but couldn't risk John doing that without him.  I think the only reason Ben wanted dead John to go back is because he doesn't know or didn't think that John would be alive when they do, Ben merely thought that he (John) had to be on the plane one way or another.

read a nice theory that widmore and ben want the same thing but have different ideas how it should be achieved and that the "War" that widmore spoke of might be with someone that we haven't met yet.

Thats probably a good guess maybe the war is with that new hispanic looking guy don't remember his name.

WHAT'S TO COME
Lost is moving again—going back even further into the past to explore a terrible incident that changed the course of the Island (and its people) forever. When Lost returns in two weeks, the charming and talented young actor Sterling Beaumon (the kid's 14 and he's recording an album) reprises his role as "young Ben" for what will be a four-episode character arc.

Sterling tells us exclusively that the story is "very major, and it's going to change Ben forever." Sterling, as per usual for Lost castmembers, is sworn to secrecy about exactly what happens but he says this very major thing "involves himself and yes, it is a trauma…Before the change Ben's a nice, good kid…and then one second will change his life forever."

According to Sterling, over the course of this arc, "Ben will [come to] know everything about every little bit about the Island. We're not going to learn more about the past with Dharma, we're going to learn more about the past of the Island." Say it with me people: Holler!

spoiler-ish question

I take it this will fill in the time between Ben meeting Richard and the Purge? I thought Ben was on board with Richard after they met in the jungle....I didn't think there was a traumatic event that caused Ben to initiate the Purge, only that he had daddy issues.

Yeah, that makes sense.  Will be fun to find out what happened. 



And I agree that seeing the statue for a second was very cool.
